When browsing the wiki for build instructions under Ubuntu, I only found instructions on how to build using autogen.sh.
I would prefer building Inkscape with the "new" build system CMake,
could
some one tell me what steps to follow / the diff from these
instructions?
(preferably update the wiki page)
Specifically: do I need to run autogen.sh and configure?
Currently , I was able to build Inkscape using CMake by using this script:
https://bitbucket.org/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/src/065cc7f39e487ee3...
You need to do "mkdir ../B; cd ../B" first.
Thank you will try this out. Any particular reason this script isn't on the wiki? Linked or copy-pasted.
Well, you can often get away with less options, or use different customisations to the cmake command. There should be other documents on the Web for generic build instructions of CMake-based projects.
One more question: Is cmake the official build tool 0.91 onwards?
Well, for 0.91, I think autoconf is still recommended, but there was some talk on making CMake the preferred one in the future. Don't know what the consensus was.
You don't have to still run autogen.sh and configure.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
